I2DT: In the cold, dark night

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Nov 15, 2015 6:25 am

"I'm not sure she realized they were terrorists. She sure didn't tell me."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 7:24 pm

Not too long after the fighting dies down Miriam comes back down, dressed in her own clothes this time. She stands in the front door, watching Ursus being dragged away.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 7:25 pm

"Miriam," Will nodded at her.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 7:32 pm

Sam at this point is over by the van talking with the X-Corp people. It's a welcome distraction for her.

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 7:34 pm

"I'm sorry I dragged you into this mess." she says, not really looking at Will.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 7:39 pm

"It's...

..OK, no, it's not OK, Miriam.

I had a lot of fun this weekend, but you kept me in the dark. Figuratively, that is."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 7:43 pm

"You think I knew about this bullshit!?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 7:48 pm

"I think you knew Trinity more than I did. I'm not saying you know what the hell was going on, but I didn't even know she existed until she pulled up in her car."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 7:50 pm

"What, you're pissy because I didn't introduce you sooner? Because I didn't somehow intuit this? What do you want from me, Will." she glares.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 7:56 pm

"You're telling me you had no idea she was involved in shady things?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:00 pm

"They were helping mutants in London. That's all I knew."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:00 pm

"OK, then," Will nodded.

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:03 pm

"Apparently I'm a supremely bad judge of character. Are we done here now? I'd rather get out of here before Sam decides she has to give me shit for this as well."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:09 pm

"I'm not giving you shit. You said you didn't know. Should I give you shit for that?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:11 pm

"I don't know. Maybe you should."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:17 pm

"You say you didn't know, so you didn't know. It's not my place to drag your feet across the coals, you know?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:22 pm

"Then what do you want from me, Will?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:22 pm

"I just want to know what you know next time, that's all. You said you knew nothing, so you didn't do anything wrong. It's all good."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:31 pm

"Whatever." she says, avoiding looking at Will. "I need a drink."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:32 pm

"What would you like?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:35 pm

"I don't care. Something strong."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:41 pm

Will nodded, and squatted over, shrinking and collapsing into himself.

In a minute, a martini glass with a green drink and an olive sticking out was all that was left.

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:46 pm

Miriam knocks back the drink in one go and eats the olive off the toothpick before putting the glass back down, letting out a deep breath.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:54 pm

Will shifted back, sitting down.

"I hope that worked for you. Some people don't like mint.

...You need to listen to me, next time."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 9:02 pm

"I can't promise you I will. Not that it matters, I don't intend to get into any more fights."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 9:07 pm

"It's not just about fights, Miriam. I'm not...less than you, just because I'm not a person. My voice counts."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 9:22 pm

Miriam just looks at Will as if he just slapped her, then pushes herself away from the doorway and starts to walk away. "If that's how you think about me, then I'd better go."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 9:24 pm

"You know where to find me," Will said, shrugging at Sam.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 9:26 pm

Sam glances over at Will and sighs, shaking her head.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 9:34 pm

Will sighed.

"Miriam, wait."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 9:43 pm

"What!?" she asks maybe a bit too harshly as she spins around towards Will again.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 9:44 pm

"C'mon. Let's all get in the van and go home, OK?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 9:47 pm

"I'll just... call a cab or something. Don't mind me." Sitting next to Will and Sam in the van for however long it's going to take them to drive back tot he school is probably the last thing she wants to do right now.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 9:53 pm

"Are you sure? Plenty of room, and I promise it'll be comfortable. And cheaper."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 9:59 pm

"I don't care. I'll see you around, Will."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 10:02 pm

"You know where I'm stored," he shrugged, walking away.

"Well, I tried," he said, approaching Sam. "Short of knocking her out and stuffing her in the trunk, I think she's going to be on her own here."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 10:06 pm

"I think I said everything I want to say to her at the moment."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 10:11 pm

"OK. You hanging in there alright?" he asked, putting an arm around her shoulders.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 10:12 pm

"Feeling a bit like my mind got run over by a train, but I'll keep."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 10:13 pm

"Anything I can get YOU? You took a lot of the brunt of the fight out there."
